A long walk

Went out with Rob, Em, Andy, Will, Vicky and Rob and Caroline from badminton for a nice long walk today. It was from Llangynhafal to Cilcain, over the top. The weather was brilliant, perfectly clear and sunny but with a nice cool breeze. We had two dogs, Sparks with Rob and Caroline, and I took the hound. The views from the top weren't great as it was quite hazy but that didn't really make any difference.

After reaching Cilcain we stopped at at pub and had some refreshing drinks before heading back to where we'd left the cars by a different route. We saw a number of things on the way, including a burnt out Vauxhall Astra and a hot air balloon, plus many, many people.

We stopped twice for picnics, with people having been told to bring certain goods. Rob and Caroline had quiche, Rob and Em had rolls with various fillings, Will and Vicky had fruit salad, Andy had crisps and I had doughnuts, cookies and Jaffa Cakes.

All good.

I've stiffened up now and I can't imagine what I'll be like tomorrow.

Oddly enough, the area we walked over has got a very high resolution image on Google Maps, unusual for North Wales.
